This episode went somewhere we didn’t plan—but maybe exactly where it needed to go.

What begins with a listener question about the stigma surrounding antidepressants quickly turns into a raw and honest conversation. Steph opens up about her experience with childhood abuse, and Kacie shares about an assault in early adulthood. These confessions were unplanned, but they were intentional moments of bringing what’s been hidden into the light.

Even as the topics get heavy, we do what we do best: bring levity, laughter, and a little trauma bonding along the way. Because healing doesn’t always look quiet, and joy and grief can exist in the same conversation.

This episode is about smashing stigma, dismantling shame, glorifying God, and refusing to keep silent about the things most people feel pressured to keep secret.

Listener discretion advised—come with courage.

In this episode, Steph takes us back to her 90s childhood in Utah — a place where coffee felt rebellious, almost everyone shared the same faith except her, and “fitting in” was just about attainable as perfection.

We dive into what it was like being the non-Mormon kid in a very Mormon world, how that shaped her identity, and why God sometimes places us exactly where we feel the most out of place. From school culture shock to Jell-O side dishes and the spiritual lessons she didn’t know she was learning — it’s honest, hilarious, and surprisingly healing.

If you’ve ever felt like the odd one out, this episode reminds you that God wastes nothing… not even the weird chapters.

Disclaimer:
No Mormon-bashing, no theology wars, and absolutely no soaking explanations. Promise. Just two perimenopausal women sharing memories, laughing through the cringe, and trying not to offend anyone’s aunt in Relief Society.

This week on Kinda Preachy, we’re pulling back the curtain on the kind of grief nobody warns you about: the grief of losing the people, places, and callings we thought we’d be with forever.

Kacie opens up about the deeper layers of hurt she’s still discovering after stepping away from ministry—because apparently grief comes in waves, plot twists, and surprise reruns. And Steph shares how losing an entire friend group sucked but somehow became the thing God used to restore her marriage.

We talk about how abrupt loss knocks the wind out of you, how there is zero timeline for getting over anything, and how pretending to be “fine” is both unhelpful and hilariously inaccurate for us right now. Honestly? This episode felt more like a very public therapy session than a podcast… but we laugh through all of it because that’s who we are.

If you’re grieving what’s gone, feeling stretched in your faith, or just need to hear two perimenopausal women process their feelings with Jesus and questionable humor—this one’s for you.

Ever felt like heaven hit “Do Not Disturb” on your prayers? Same. In this episode, we get real about those seasons when faith feels quiet, your Bible gathers dust, and your heart feels a little… ghosted. We talk about what it looks like to stay grateful, stay disciplined, and stay in the Word even when you don’t feeling it.

It’s honest, it’s tender, it’s a little funny, and it’s exactly the reminder we all need: keep praying, keep showing up, and trust that God hasn’t gone anywhere.

Plus, you wont't want to miss a really exciting job update for Kacie!

We’re thrilled to welcome Nedra McDaniel of Adventure Mom to chat about the lessons she’s learned through grief, growth, and a whole lot of adventure. Nedra shares how losing her mom and brother inspired her to live intentionally and to become both an inviter and a yes-sayer. Along the way, we swap funny stories, talk about building community, and explore why simple invitations can lead to the most meaningful moments.

In this episode, Steph and Kacie get real about the deceitful comfort of stretchy pants, the betrayal of bathroom mirrors and a way to honest confession about our current perimenopausal weights. But, beyond the leggings and laughter, Steph shares one of her stories about infertility, faith and learning that while stretchy pants may lie, God never does. Tune in for humor, hope and a reminder that His timing is always worth the wait. We also may owe a small apology for unintentionally explaining about soaking, if you don't know what that is, well just know you will soon and we are sorry it was too funny not to edit out!

Remember that classic Friends episode where Ross, Rachel, and Chandler are stuck in a stairwell trying to move a couch, and Ross just keeps yelling, “PIVOT!”? Yeah, life can feel a lot like that. We’ve got our plans, our perfectly measured doorways, and then—bam!—the couch of reality gets jammed halfway up the stairs.

In this episode, we’re talking about what to do when life doesn’t fit through the doorway you expected. Sometimes God asks us to pivot—not because He’s changing His plan, but because He’s helping us find a better angle. We’ll laugh about the awkward turns, the moments when we feel stuck, and how leaning into God’s direction (instead of yelling “pivot” at the people around us) can help us handle life’s curveballs with a little more grace—and maybe a few fewer bruises.

Because let’s be honest: faith doesn’t make the couch lighter, but it sure helps us carry it better.
